What's Happening with ISO?

CONGRATULATIONS! Hard work really does pay off. PE has officially obtained ISO 9001:2008 Certification on December 14, 2015! The Stage 2 external audit was conducted November 16-19, 2015. Both Nonconformities and Opportunities for Improvement (OFIs) were identified. PE worked diligently and efficiently to submit mitigation plans to assist in process improvement which led to certification.

Of the OFIs recommended, PE is going to make a major change to the ISO Site in the near future. Instead of referring to it as an ISO Site, it will be changed to the QMS Site by March 2016. What is QMS? It's PE's Quality Management System.

Now that we are certified, we will continue to grow as a quality-centered company. As always, we embrace continual process improvement which requires your feedback and support. Should you come across something that you think could be improved, please let us know! You can submit a Corrective Action Request (CAR) or Preventive Action Request (PAR), FM406.

ISO 9001 Auditor Update

We want to give another thank you to those who participated in any ISO 9001 Auditor Training and subsequently volunteered to assist with internal audits. Your support is greatly appreciated and we look forward to your continued participation during our next round of internal audits which are tentatively scheduled for September 2015.

July was a very busy month for ISO. Each Department conducted an ISO brief during which the Advisory Panel was advised of each Department's progress. The last Internal Auditor Training was successfully conducted and we were able to complete our first successful Program Management (PM) audit!

Each one of these events yielded great outputs and provided opportunities for improvement which have been reviewed, discussed, and may be implemented in the future.

What's Coming Up?

August is the month that the ISO Orientation is being held. All are allowed and highly encouraged to participate in the training. There will be an overview of ISO which will provide a live demonstration of how to access information stored on the Site. The Training conducted by the departments will be a maximum of one hour each and is targeted to Program Managers, Business Group Directors, Site Supervisors, Team Leads, and anyone who has management responsibility.

This is an opportunity for you to ask any questions you have to each department about their processes, procedures, or forms as they relate to ISO. The orientation will provide invaluable information that all employees will be expected to know in the event of an audit. Please remember to check the ISO Site and read the newsletter to make sure you have the most accurate and updated information about ISO. The training dates and times are provided below. The sessions will be recorded and dial-in information can be obtained from your respective BGD for those who are unable to attend in-person.

ISO is coming along at a great pace. We're working on fine tuning the Procedures, Work Instruction and Forms that have been created by the departments. As changes are being implemented, they are begin routed through PE's Document Control Process before being uploaded to the ISO Site. Remember, all employees are able to view the information (Procedures, Forms and Work Instructions) as well as make recommendations on process improvements. This can all be done through the ISO site. Continue reading for more details on upcoming information sessions, Internal Audit Classes, and Internal Audits scheduled in July.

ISO 9001 Auditor Update

A big thank you to those ISO 9001 Auditors who volunteer to help lead the most recent two audits to success for Finance & Accounting and HR. You all did an amazing job!

For those individuals who are interested, we do plan to hold one last ISO Training July 23-24, 2015. Please be sure to communicate your interests to Carrie Lynch, Sarah Clemente or Marquitta Harris. Remember, participation will require supervisor approval.

We were able to successfully complete internal audits for Finance & Accounting, Corrective Action, HR/Recruiting, and Document Control. Again, all areas did a great job of documenting their activities and providing evidence of their processes (which is a requirement of ISO). We were able to identify some Opportunities for Improvements (or OFIs) in Finance & Accounting. We are always looking for ways to make the company more efficient. A big THANKS to everyone who participated and openly answered our questions. All audit results are on the ISO site under Section 6.1.

We also had our first ISO Management Review Meeting! The Meeting Minutes are on the ISO site under Section 6.1.

What's Coming Up?

July is a time of action for PE and ISO! Following the holiday, we have briefings scheduled for each certifying department to brief the Advisory Panel on the processes, procedures, forms, and work instructions. The Advisory Panel is a team of PE employees who provide Corporate guidance to the IMR and the Departments for ISO. The panel will provide feedback, ask questions and make recommendations for improvement if necessary.

There's also a MANDATORY ISO Auditor Meeting scheduled for all individuals who have already completed ISO 9001 Internal Auditor Training. While you should have an invite already, if not, please contact me immediately at 703-291-5034 x 2014.

As we move into the next phase of ISO implementation, we will hold one final ISO Auditor class. Please contact us immediately if you would like to attend. Keep in mind that when called on to conduct an audit, it is to be treated as a priority.

Lastly, we will wrap up July with our final internal audit of Program Management. All participating BGDs and PMs should have received an invite along with the required procedures by now. If not, please contact me immediately.

Anyone interested in reviewing any of the Policies, Procedures, Manuals, Work Instructions, Forms or Audit Data that has been compiled to date can do so on the ISO site.

In August, the certifying Departments, the Core 4 and the IMR will be working to plan a MANDATORY ISO Orientation. The purpose of the orientation will be to give employees an overview of what changes have been made, what the impact will be to you, how you can get even more involved, and how the entire ISO process has been integrated into PE.

It will also be an opportunity for you to ask any questions you have to each department about their processes, procedures, or forms as they relate to ISO. The orientation will provide invaluable information that all employees will be expected to know in the event of an audit. Please remember to check the ISO Site and read the newsletter to make sure you have the most accurate and updated information about ISO.

Upcoming Events:

July 8, 2015 - Security Brief

July 9, 2015 - Mandatory ISO Auditor Meeting

What's Happening with ISO?

The certifying departments (HR, Security, Finance, Contracts, and Program Management) have done an amazing job documenting their procedures. Keep in mind that the procedures will be a work in progress as we get closer to our ISO Certification. Some departments have created work instructions and/or process maps which will be available for all employees to view on the ISO site (listed below). Please be sure to keep an eye on the ISO Site and subscribe to changes to make sure you get the latest and greatest ISO news! All employees should have access to view the site. If access has not yet been granted, please request it and you'll be able to access it in no time! The link to that site is:

https://sites.google.com/a/patricioenterprises.com/iso/?pli=1

This site is where all ISO-related information will be posted both now and in the future. Remember, if you sit on a Government Site, you may not be able to access the site while on the premises. Be sure to check access when you are at a different location (such as a home computer or PE Site).

ISO 9001 Auditor Update

A big thank you to those ISO 9001 Auditors who helped lead the first two audits to success. You all did an amazing job!

For those individuals who are interested, we do plan to hold just one last ISO Training before the summer ends. Please be sure to communicate your interests to Carrie Lynch (clynch@patricioenterprises.com); Sarah Clemente (sclemente@patricioenterprises.com); or Marquitta Harris (mharris@patricioenterprises.com). Remember, participation will require supervisor approval.

We are so excited to have completed our Security and Contracts Audits which took place in May. We found that the departments did an excellent job of documenting their activities and providing evidence of their processes (which is a requirement of ISO). Most importantly, we were able to identify a few opportunities for improvement in both departments! We are always looking for ways to make the company more efficient. Again, this is a work in progress. Thanks to Lisa and Jerome for being involved and for welcoming the suggestions of the ISO Auditors. We're confident they'll do great when the external auditor arrives in the coming months.

What's Coming Up?

In June, we are excited about continuing our internal ISO audits. If you happen to see a group of people walking around your workspace, we're getting the Departments prepared for the actual external audit expected to take place around September 2015.

In the near future, the Departments, the Core 4 and the IMR will be working to plan a MANDATORY ISO Orientation. The purpose of the orientation will be to give employees an overview of what changes have been made, what the impact will be to them, how they can go about getting involved, and how the entire ISO process has been integrated into PE. The orientation will provide invaluable information that all employees will be expected to know in the event of an audit. While this isn't expected to take place until sometime in late-summer, please remember to check the ISO Page and read the newsletter to make sure you have the most accurate and updated information about ISO.

What's Happening with ISO:

The certifying departments are well under way with wrapping up their departmental procedures (HR, Security, Finance, Contracts, and Program Management). They are now in the process of creating valuable work instructions, guides, process maps, and other tools that will serve as a learning aid for all of you! We have created an ISO 9001 website which all employees have the ability to view and are encouraged to keep up with the documentation and new developments as they are available. If access has not yet been granted, please request it and you'll be able to access it in no time! The link to that site is:

This site is where all ISO-related information will be posted both now and in the future. If you have questions about the information you see, you can contact your ISO Management Rep (IMR) Marquitta Harris, or you can reach out to the appropriate Core 4 Member. We're here to help!

Auditor Update:

For those individuals who successfully completed the ISO 9001 Internal Auditor Training in November 2014 or March 2015, we will be holding practice audits in the near future. While everyone may not have an opportunity to participate the first time, we will strive to ensure that all employees who received the appropriate training are involved in an auditing session. When the time comes, it will required supervisor approval.

What's Coming Up:

In May, we are excited about having our first practice audit. If you happen to see a group of people walking around your workspace, we're getting the Departments prepared for the actual external audit expected to take place around September 2015.

In the near future, the Departments, the Core 4 and the IMR will be working to plan a MANDATORY ISO Orientation.

What's Happening with ISO: Even when it's not visible, something is happening with ISO every day. The ISO Certification process helps standardize the way departments within PE operate and creates uniformity. How many times have you been instructed to complete a task to later find that the way it should have been done was changed and never communicated? We've all had this happen to use at one time. To prevent situations like this from happening, PE is implementing ISO in the most vital departments that potentially have an impact on everyone. PE's core departments (HR, Security, Finance, Contracts, and Program Management) are working to create departmental procedures that will further define their daily operations.

This will be beneficial for you as PE employees because you will have an opportunity to view the procedures and work instructions once they are created. It will be an opportunity to see how the departments work together for operational efficiency. You will be able to provide feedback to these documented procedures and suggest improvements to the processes. This part of the ISO Certification process can be the most tedious but also the most rewarding!

ISO 9001 Auditor Training Update: On March 3-4 2015, PE successfully held internal Auditor Training. This training was open to all employees. If you were unable to attend, don't worry. There will be one final class held in the June/July time frame. For those who participated, thank you! Employees interested should notify your immediate supervisor and contact Marquitta Harris at mharris@patricioenterprises.com.

What does ISO mean to us?

ISO stands for International Organization of Standardization. PE began the ISO Journey in September 2014. Essentially, obtaining ISO Certification would mean that PE has implemented a Quality Management System (QMS) that has effective, repeatable processes. In instances where it is not effective, we implement changes to fix problems through a structured system. Sounds easy, right? Of course!

PE's employees are a major resource for this certification as it is you and Management who set the requirements for how we manage both information and the QMS. It's not hard at all. As we all work together to implement this new system, we are finding out what we need, what we have, and filling in the gaps along the process. We call this "gap analysis." When you're thinking about "needs," don't just look at job skills; think about the business, awareness, training, and so forth.

ISO 9001 Auditor Training

In early March 2015, PE will be holding internal Auditor Training. This training is open to all employees. You must obtain approval from your manger to attend. This training will provide attendees with an understanding of the philosophy and principles of the ISO 9001:2008 standards which are recommended to perform Quality Management Systems audits. The trained individuals may be required to assist in auditing various departments within PE once ISO 9001 certification has been obtained. Employees interested should contact Marquitta Harris at mharris@patricioenterprises.com.

Principle 5 – System Approach to Management

Principle 6 – Continual Improvement

Principle 7 – Factual approach to decision making
